Poland’s Canal+ Sport has reduced its coverage of Premier League games due to piracy in the UK.

Quoting a statement by the channel explaining the situation, Satkurier reports that this follows instances of illegal showing of Premier League games in pubs and other public establishments in the UK using nc+ decoders.

However, the number of matches broadcast live over the season will remain unchanged and all will be done to rectify the situation.

Satkurier adds that it is unclear how long this reduction in coverage will continue. It also notes that there is confusion on the part of nc+ subscribers as to the actual transmission times of football matches, be they from the Premier League, Polish Ekstraklasa, Champions League or Europa League.
